A Carolina Beach Tradition.

Buzz's first opened on the Carolina Beach Boardwalk as Buzz's Roost in 2016. In 2025, we began a new chapter as Buzz's Crab Shack, with a fresh identity that better reflects our seafood-focused menu and Carolina Beach location.

Today, Buzz's Crab Shack is a local destination for fresh seafood, crab legs, cold drinks, live music, and nightly karaoke. Whether you're bringing the family for dinner, meeting friends for drinks, or taking a break from the beach, we're proud to welcome locals and visitors to our laid-back spot in the heart of the Carolina Beach Boardwalk.

"My boyfriend and I shared the cajun seafood boil and crab balls, which was the perfect amount of food for us. The cajun seafood boil hit the spot and had exactly what each of us were looking for."
